China's earliest government green procurement dates back to 2004. In that year, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Implementation Opinions on Government Procurement of Energy-saving Products. Later, the implementation mechanism of government procurement policies for energy-saving and environmental protection products was gradually optimized and improved.
